Data Exchange (Removeable Media Encryption)

Robl216

Having recently moved to a new company I have been tasked with evaluatiing products to try and replace our multiple ones with a single suite if possible.

I have used Endpoint Protection from Sohpos before and also SafeGuard.

One requirement here is that external media is encrypted for certain users and any files that are written to it either in the office or externally are automatically encrypted.  From memory when using SG Portable although files can be accessed using the SGP utility when writing to the device it is not automatically encrypted unless the user uses SGP.

Is this still the case? 

Our current solution will encrypt any files that are written to the device even if the user uses Windows Explorer.  This is what we would want with any new product.

Thoughts?

Rob.

    I'm using SafeGuard 6.01 and by policy I have the following settings

    File Encryption with AES256

    NO assigned user or group keys

    Encrypt new files

    SGN creates an MEK (machine encryption key) that's user specific, usable with SGN, and all new file coppied to the flash drive are encrypted.  If you're paranoid you can force encrypt all files on the flash drive no matter what however that's usually a bad idea, it creates problems with embedded devices like phones and other devices that look like flash drives to windows but aren't. If USB encryp[tion creates issues with a specific device you have to whitelist the USB device and Vendor ID in safeguard.
